RE: Non-xml source documents

XSL is designed expressly for transforming XML documents. You won't have any luck in using it to transform something that isn't XML. I usually find that Perl is a very handy programming language for working with text documents and I have often used it to reformat non-XML documents into XML for further work.

Subject:   Non-xml source documents

Greetings,

Would someone please point me to some resources on how to process non-xml
source documents?  

I have a text file that I want to convert to an xml document.  

I can use XSLT 2.

Thanks in advance,
Jim Neff
